San Francisco-based artist Hunter Franks transforms public spaces into positive venues of conversation and connection. His public installations create shared spaces and experiences that break down social barriers and build connections between people and communities.

Projects include a storytelling exchange to connect disparate neighborhoods, a public display of first love stories, a vacant warehouse turned community hub, and a global network of people creatively building stronger cities. His Neighborhood Postcard Project has been carried out in 22 communities from Chennai, India to Santiago, Chile and his League of Creative Interventionists has chapters in cities around the world from Cologne, Germany to Detroit, Michigan.

In 2011 he walked from Los Angeles to New Mexico — an experience that continues to fuel his desire to tell the stories of underrepresented people and places.
